Simplify Your Code with Pattern Matching: Type Tests in C#

Image
Introduction: Pattern matching in C# is a powerful feature that simplifies common programming patterns and enables you to perform type tests and extract values from objects in a clear and brief way. In this blog post, you will explore the concept of type tests in pattern matching and demonstrate how they can simplify your code. Let's dive in! Understanding Type Tests in Pattern Matching: Type tests in pattern matching involve checking if an object is of a particular type and then extracting and working with the object in a type-safe manner. This eliminates the need for explicit casting and provides a more readable and maintainable solution. Let's illustrate this with an example: // Base shape class class   Shape  { } // Circle class class   Circle  :  Shape {      public   double   Radius  {  get ;  set ; } } // Rectangle class class   Rectangle  :  Shape {      public   double   Width  {  get ;  set ; }      public   double   Height  {  get ;  set ; } } // Triangle cl
